About
Richard Buswell is a leading researcher in digital construction and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on the 3D printing of cement-based materials. His work addresses critical challenges in producing free-form concrete parts, moving beyond the limitations of traditional casting. Buswell’s major contributions lie in developing integrated robotic systems that combine 3D printing with precision milling, enabling superior surface finish and geometric accuracy in the green state of the material. His 2021 paper on milling a cement-based 3D printable mortar has garnered 23 citations, reflecting its significance in the field. He has also pioneered novel calibration procedures for large-volume metrology, as seen in his 2025 work on robot-assisted calibration for Optical Coordinate Measuring Systems, which addresses the growing accuracy demands in large-scale applications. Buswell’s research is instrumental in advancing the precision and flexibility of digital fabrication in construction, offering a path toward more efficient, customizable, and high-quality concrete manufacturing. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, materials science, and construction technology.
